Virginia

Virginia has a long and interesting history with the United States of America. It started out as a British colony, and was named after Mary, the "Virgin Queen." When pronounced by an Australian, however, it sounds like "Vagina." For this reason, it is not recommended for Australians to travel to this commonwealth. That's right, Virginia is technically not a state, but a commonwealth. But who cares, we'll just refer to it as a state like the other 49. The capital of Virginia is Richmond.

It was the most populous state in the Union, mostly because of slaves, until people realized it was the most boring state besides Ohio and Utah.
